At this point, Dorothea’s feelings underwent a slight change.
Although she was still jealous of Ye Chen, her hostility had eased considerably compared to before.
In this world, strength would always come first. Power, money, and connections were all worthless in the face of true strength.
If you were strong enough, you made the rules. You held the power—and could even get away with not eating beef.
Dorothea considered herself roughly equal to Zilan Yin in her normal state. But once Zilan Yin entered her sleeping state, she would completely overwhelm Dorothea.
Yet Ye Chen was only at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, and he had defeated Zilan Yin in her sleeping state with a single move.
Moreover, judging by the technique Ye Chen had used, he seemed capable of using it several times.
“I told you not to make a move. Did you think my opponent was some weakling?”
Xu Mu grabbed Zilan Yin’s body and shoved a healing pill into her mouth.
[Favorability +20]
“Sorry.”
Several holes had been pierced through Zilan Yin’s body, and blood was still pouring out.
She had never expected an enemy like Xu Mu to be so powerful.
Could this be the resonance between strong fighters?
Xu Mu seized Zilan Yin by the arm and flung her toward Chen Xuan.
“Old Chen! Get them out of here!”
Chen Xuan immediately leaped over and caught Zilan Yin. He then handed her to Li Hongdou.
“Senior Hongdou, get her out of here!”
Li Hongdou stared at Zilan Yin in her arms, completely dumbfounded.
When had the younger generation of this world become so insane?
As a member of the Sanitation Bureau, she knew the Black Moon Clan’s Zilan Yin very well.
In her sleeping state, Zilan Yin’s true combat strength was nearly comparable to her own.
Yet her body had been pierced several times in an instant.
“Chen Xuan, can you handle this?”
Li Hongdou asked quickly.
“Don’t worry. I fought them for so long inside that formation earlier, and they still couldn’t take me down.”
Chen Xuan smiled.
“Good!”
Li Hongdou hugged Zilan Yin and ran into the distance.
Paul certainly wasn’t going to stand by and do nothing. Just as he was about to give chase, Chen Xuan blocked his path.
“Your opponent is me now.”
“You lowly thing! That formation merely restricted my combat strength. Do you really think trash like you can stop me?”
Paul raised his sword and charged at Chen Xuan.
Meanwhile, Xu Mu clashed with Ye Chen once again.
There was no denying that Ye Chen was powerful. With the boost from the Hymn of Light, almost every one of his attacks was considerably stronger than Xu Mu’s.
But Xu Mu still had plenty of techniques he had yet to use.
Their battle had continued for several minutes. By now, Ye Chen had probably become familiar with the level of Xu Mu’s attacks.
At this point, Xu Mu naturally had to change his approach.
Whoosh!
Xu Mu suddenly flashed behind Ye Chen and swung his black sword with all his strength.
“It’s useless! Xu Mu, you’re going to die today!”
Ye Chen once again reached out with his dragon claw, grabbing at the black blade.
At the same time, the enormous dragon claw formed by the phantom behind him swept toward Xu Mu.
But this time, things were completely different.
The instant Ye Chen’s dragon claw touched Xu Mu’s black sword, Xu Mu’s strength suddenly surged.
Crimson qi erupted violently.
“What?”
Ye Chen’s eyes widened. The sword had already slashed into his dragon claw.
Boom!
Ye Chen was sent crashing toward the ground like a cannonball.
[Destiny Power -20]
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Xu Mu and Ye Chen exchanged positions.
Ye Chen, who had been about to crash into the ground, reappeared in the sky, while Xu Mu landed steadily on the ground.
Xu Mu raised his hand and clenched it toward the sky.
Rumble…
The air high above exploded repeatedly as countless compressed wind blades launched an assault on Ye Chen.
The golden scales were effortlessly sliced open, and blood erupted into mist that exploded across the sky.
Whoosh!
Paul, who had been fighting Chen Xuan, saw what was happening and immediately compressed space before charging toward Xu Mu.
For someone without any powerful backing, becoming the Fifth Elder of the Holy Light Clan’s Cabinet was probably the height of Paul’s career.
Ye Chen had a connection with the Light Ancestor. That connection was the key to Paul reaching the ninth rank.
The moment Xu Mu saw Paul, he leaped into the air and dodged the attack.
[Destiny Power -50]
Only then did Ye Chen, who was high in the air, react. He quickly spread his wings and landed on the ground.
His expression was now as gloomy as could be. He grabbed his right arm and forcefully lifted it.
With a sharp crack, he reset his dislocated arm.
He had originally intended to catch Xu Mu’s blade, but he had never expected Xu Mu’s attack to suddenly surge in power and dislocate his arm.
“Xu Mu!”
Ye Chen took out a pill and swallowed it. Then he looked toward Freya.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and kill Xu Mu!”
Freya narrowed her eyes slightly.
Xu Mu, an heir of Yanhuang, was indeed a potential threat to the Holy Light Clan.
But unfortunately, Xu Mu had saved her before.
“If I die, the Light Ancestor won’t let you off…”
Before Ye Chen could finish, a gigantic golden cross appeared above his head.
Xu Mu had redirected Paul’s attack from a distance.
“Damn it!”
Ye Chen’s mentality exploded once again. He had clearly learned such powerful techniques, yet he still couldn’t defeat Xu Mu.
Could the person backing this brat really be stronger than the Holy Light Clan?
Boom!
With a deafening roar, the golden cross above Ye Chen’s head suddenly exploded.
Freya appeared beside Ye Chen.
“Let’s go!”
She grabbed Ye Chen by the shoulder and flew into the distance. She still couldn’t bring herself to cross blades with Xu Mu.
At this rate, Ye Chen would certainly die. Even with Paul nearby, the outcome would be the same.
Since Xu Mu had fought from beginning to end without suffering even the slightest injury, she decided that if she couldn’t attack him, she would settle for saving Ye Chen instead.
“Ye Chen! You’re still the same weakling you always were! Running away like a dog!”
“Xu Mu!”
Ye Chen roared from the distance.
[Destiny Power -30]
Seeing this, Paul blurred into motion, grabbed Dorothea, and vanished from sight.
Xu Mu extended his senses to investigate. As expected of an eighth-rank expert—Paul was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he had flown beyond the range of Xu Mu’s perception.
“Brother Mu, that was awesome!”
The divine weapon in Chen Xuan’s hand disappeared. He ran over with his woodcutter’s cleaver in hand.
“I’ve discovered that fighting really does help. After battling experts far stronger than me, I can hold out for longer and longer.”
Xu Mu sent a voice transmission to Li Hongdou before walking over with a smile.
“That’s because you’re a natural-born combat genius.”
“Stop being modest. Compared to you, what kind of genius am I?”
Chen Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
“Look at you. You’ve been fighting for so long and haven’t even shed a drop of blood.”
“I was mainly fighting Ye Chen. You were facing an eighth-rank expert.”
Xu Mu stretched himself vigorously. Ye Chen really was impressive. His cultivation had advanced even faster than Xu Mu’s.
However, there was still quite a gap between their combat strength.
He would see if he got another chance to finish Ye Chen off. If Ye Chen died, it would remove a major threat from Xu Mu’s heart.
“Xu Mu!”
Li Hongdou’s voice suddenly came through the telepathic link.
“I found something here.”
Xu Mu extended his senses and saw that Li Hongdou was right at the edge of his perception.
“Stay where you are. I’ll be there soon.”
“What’s wrong, Brother Mu?”
“There might be an exit from this place.”
Xu Mu led the way forward.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it.
